Year of our Moon Landing 36

By Baron Dave Romm

Year of our Moon Landing 36

Happy New Year!

Remember when our presidents had balls? Ah, that's a different column, I suppose. This is an update of a column from YML 34, still relevant today.

Apollo 11 landed on the moon July 20, 1969 CE, ushering in a new era in human history. Each year we celebrate the New Year with a look back and a look forward. At the start of YML 36, let's take the time to count our blessings.

The US Space Program was the most successful undertaking in human history. Not only did it accomplish it's goal, stated a few years after inception as "putting a man on the moon by the end of the decade," but the knowledge gained and resources developed have benefited all mankind.

Originally, the space program was started in a panic after the Russians launched Sputnik on October 4, 1957. We had been leisurely talking about sending up satellites, as part of the defense program that included such related projects as the interstate highway system. The ability to launch satellites was, after all, really about the ability to launch and target nuclear missles. When the Russians proved they could do it first, we hunkered down and started NASA and ARPA and the race was on.

One of the chief spin offs of the space program was the internet. Originally set up by ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) as ARPAnet and recognized by Sen. Edward Kennedy in 1969, the technology improved and to the point where Al Gore recognized its importance and promoted its public use. (Republicans lied, as usual, but as Vint Cerf put it, "Gore provided much-needed political support for the speedy privatization of the Internet when the time arrived for it to become a commercially-driven operation.")

From weather satellites to lipstick, the benefits of the space program have improved your life. Since 1976, NASA has published Spinoff that you can order free (hard copy or CD!). A lot of the following information is from the Spinoff web site. Indeed, after the first few from earlier than 1976, I'm just going to randomly search the database to come up with interesting spin offs.

Geeze, just exploring the NASA database is humbling. There are lists of spin offs at The Space Place and the NASA Kids site is fun for kids and... well, you get the picture. The space program has more than paid for the money we put into it.

It was no coincidence that the two superpowers in the last century were marked by space programs. And it's no coincidence that the only remaining superpower is the country with the largest investment in R&D. Money spent looking into space reaps big rewards on the ground.

Conservative politics have held back progress, but the bold vision held by liberals such as JFK should not be forgotten. On this New Years Day, let us celebrate and look ahead!

Baron Dave Romm is a conceptual artist and a noble of Ladonia with a radio show, a very weird CD collection and an ever growing list of political links. Dave Romm reviews things at random for obscure web sites. You can read all his music recommendations from Bartcop-E , and you can hear the last two Shockwave broadcasts in Real Audio (scroll down to Shockwave). Thanks to everyone who has sent me music to play on the air.

Thanks (again), Baron Dave!

Comment From Mr. Hawk

A belated thumbs up

A belated thumbs up has to go the the Morgantown Police Department for their conduct on July 4th .Instead of the ham fisted tactics which other police deprtments have used when Bush oozed into a town the Mountaineer Men In Blue behaved professionally and courteously.

Now, if they can just stop the annual burning of the couches after WVU football games.

10th Year

Amazon

Online retailer Amazon.com Inc. celebrated its 10th year with a concert on Saturday for its employees and customers that included a rare joint performance by Bob Dylan and Norah Jones.

The free concert for over 2,500 employees in Seattle, which was also broadcast over the Web, was aimed at showcasing Amazon's success at becoming the Internet's biggest retailer, unlike other unlucky companies that died along with the bursting of the technology bubble five years ago.

Jones, whose debut album "Come Away With Me" won eight Grammy Awards in 2003, paused once during her performance to say that: "this is the part where we usually do a Bob Dylan Song."

Stands by Novakula

CNN

Journalist Robert Novak's status as a CNN contributor will remain unaffected during a federal probe into the revelation of a CIA officer's identity, executives at the news channel said Sunday.

"I think we're all aware that no one really knows what's going on in the investigation of the Valerie Plame incident," said Jonathan Klein, president of CNN/U.S. "So it would be awfully presumptuous of us to take steps against a guy in his career based on second, third, fourth-hand reporting."

Klein praised Novak as "one of the most outstanding political reporters this country has ever known."

Space Assignment Raises Questions

Miles O'Brien

Only CNN's Miles O'Brien and NASA truly know how close he was to climbing out of a space suit instead of an anchor booth after the space shuttle Discovery's launch was postponed last week because of a fuel gauge failure.

O'Brien recently revealed that he was close to getting NASA's OK to be the first American journalist in space until Columbia broke apart on its return flight in 2003.

CNN and O'Brien missed out on the story of a lifetime. But the network's negotiations with America's space agency also raise questions about whether CNN was willing to overlook ethical concerns to get it.

CNN began thinking about sending O'Brien to space about the time California businessman Dennis Tito paid the Russian space agency about $20 million for a trip to the space station in 2001. CNN negotiated with the Russians but backed away when the price was too steep, O'Brien said.

A hippopotamus dined on fruit and juices frozen into a giant confection during a party celebrating the 3,500-pound animal's 54th birthday.

Hundreds of visitors ate birthday cake Saturday at the Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden while Donna the hippo consumed her frozen fruit.

Zoo keeper John W. Stuteville said Donna is considered one of the world's oldest living Nile hippos. She has already outlived her mate and all eight of their offspring.

Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Disneyland

Thousands of Disney fans donned special gold-colored Mickey ears as they streamed through the entrance to Disneyland on Sunday, 50 years after the landmark opened its gates and gave birth to the modern theme park.

The festivities, which included a fireworks-and-confetti display, were set outside the Sleeping Beauty Castle and began with televised images echoing the fanfare of the park's launch in 1955.

Broadcaster Art Linkletter, 93, who hosted the live telecast of the park's opening day along with Ronald Reagan and actor Bob Cummings, also was on hand.

Ticket prices also have changed. An entry ticket into the theme park on its opening day was $1, but people had to purchase individual tickets to go on rides. By 1959, Disney introduced the "E" ticket, which allowed multiple rides. It was 85 cents. Today, an all-inclusive entry ticket for ages 10 and up is $56.

Hiroshima survivor Shigeko Sasamori, 73, recounts the day, 60 years ago on August 6th, that her city had the first atom bomb dropped on it as she visits with reporters in Albuquerque, N.M., Friday, July 15, 2005. 13-years-old at the time, she was a little over a mile from ground zero and the blast burned almost half her body and disfigured her fingers. After almost 30 surgeries later she now spends her time trying to get people to see the reality of nuclear weapons and what they can do to people.

Naked in Newcastle

Spencer Tunick

Hundreds of volunteers stripped naked at dawn and walked through the streets of Gateshead and Newcastle

Controversial American artist Spencer Tunick cordoned off a section of the Newcastle and Gateshead quaysides to create his latest piece of nude art.

Around 1500 people braved the chilly early temperatures, rough road surfaces and discarded chips from last night's revellers to take part in his largest "installation" in the country.

They included zoo-keepers, postmen, midwives and a vicar.

Cockroach Hall of Fame

The Cockroach Hall of Fame Museum - an aging collection of the despised insects dressed in tiny outfits - isn't much to see. But the creepy exhibit draws curiosity-seekers from across the country.

"What's interesting is that people are afraid of seeing cockroaches running across their kitchen at night, but their guard drops when they see them wearing a tutu or a bikini," said grinning exterminator Michael Bohdan, the hall's cheery "curator."

In between sales of pest-control products at his suburban Dallas shop, Bohdan leads "tours" of decaying Styrofoam-based scenes featuring roaches in celebrity get-ups.

The displays, which take up a small space under a glass countertop, include the white-caped "Liberoachi," seated at a tiny piano, and "H. Ross Peroach."

Nevada has Area 51. New Mexico has Roswell. Texas has the Marfa Lights.

Whatever's out there sparkling or dancing across Mitchell Flat and toward the Chinati Mountains has both befuddled people and attracted them to this remote area east of Marfa for well over a century.

They start converging about dusk on a desolate spot in the West Texas desert with a ridge view and an expanse of some 20 miles of treeless rangeland.

With darkness toward to the east and the remnants of a spectacular sunset to the west, the first cries erupt.
